przebytej

Przebytej is a form used in Polish grammar. It is the feminine singular past participle form of the adjective przebyta, which itself derives from the verb przebyć (or its imperfective counterpart przebywać). The form przebytej is not a standalone word with a fixed meaning; it is an inflected variant that agrees with a feminine noun in certain cases, most commonly in locative or genitive contexts after prepositions.

In practice, przebytej appears in phrases such as po przebytej chorobie or o przebytej podróży. In these constructions, przebytej accompanies a feminine noun in a case that requires the participle to agree in gender and case, signaling that the action or state described by przebyta has already occurred or has been experienced relative to the noun.

Morphology and related forms: przebyta is the feminine nominative singular form; przebytej is the feminine singular form used in locative or genitive contexts. Other gender-number forms of the participle include przebyty (masculine singular), przebyte (neuter or plural in some forms), and przebyta (feminine nominative). These forms allow speakers to express “having stayed,” “having undergone,” or “having experienced” in relation to a noun.

Usage notes: przebytej is common in formal writing, medical or travel contexts, and historical or biographical descriptions when recounting experiences or states following an event, especially with feminine nouns like choroba (disease), podróż (journey), rekonwalescencja (rehabilitation), and similar terms.
